Hello! I'm Lucas Gattuso. I'm a teacher with my California Preliminary Multiple Subject and Single Subject: English credentials, and two decades of classroom experience, primarily in instruction, integration, and implementation of technology in classrooms. I believe that people learn best when they are allowed to build their knowledge through challenge and discovery. You can find my full resume here.
Other, non-job things about me:
I'm an amateur photographer. I started out with a little pocket point-and-shoot and worked my way up to a Nikon D5000 DSLR. My favorite subjects are neon signs and old buildings. You can find my pictures on flickr.
I like to record music and I have a decent enough voice, but have only bare-minimum ability to play any instruments. If you've got a song that uses G-C-D7, call me!
I'm a comic book geek. I can name at least seven forms of kryptonite.
My favorite form of writing is sudden/flash fiction, but I also like long, twisty novels.
I have lived my entire life on the edges of the San Fernando Valley.
I have never been outside the continental United States.
I love riding the subway.
I married my high school sweetheart... twenty years after we broke up.
I think well-designed software doesn't force you to read a manual for most tasks.
I will gladly help you with the consumption of chocolate.
